Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party on 24 Select Evenings

Halloween is coming early to Walt Disney World Resort – and is sticking around for a night beyond the traditional Oct. 31. On 24 evenings between Sept. 4 and Nov. 1, Magic Kingdom will be alive with friendly ghosts and goblins during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

It’s an occasion when guests of all ages are encouraged to dress up in their own favorite Halloween costumes … and even if they choose not to masquerade, they still get to trick-or-treat around the Magic Kingdom theme park, collecting yummy candy. Special lighting, music and theming effects combine to transform areas of the park into happy haunted hollows.

Parties are slated for Sept. 4, 11, 15, 18, 22, 25, 29; Oct. 1, 2, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 15, 18, 20, 22, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31 and Nov. 1, with the fun beginning at 7 p.m. and continuing till midnight. The popular event, which takes place following Magic Kingdom closing (requiring separate admission), features two scheduled entertainment extravaganzas exclusive to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party: Mickey’s “Boo-to-You” Halloween parade and the bewitching “Happy HalloWishes” fireworks spectacular.

The parade begins with a “spook-tacular” ride by the Headless Horseman and showcases Disney characters decked out for the occasion and the stars of the Haunted Mansion attraction. During the fireworks show, the Disney villains go trick-or-treating in the sky.

Wilmar meets Bea at Busch Gardens

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay's 65-acre Serengeti Plain is home to herds of giraffe, zebra, rhino, African antelope and many species of birds. Just as they do on Africa's plains, the animals usually hang out with their own species. But recently, zoo keepers at Busch Gardens noticed an unlikely pair. Bea, a three-year-old giraffe, and Wilma, an ostrich, just can't seem to get enough of one another. Best friends? We'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Where to buy groceries near the Orlando tourist areas

Airfare, accommodations and attractions usually make up the bulk of expenses for an Orlando vacation, and eating out at a restaurant is often an additional expense, especially for travelers staying along International Drive--but it doesn't have to be that way. For travelers who don't want to rack up hefty restaurant bills every day of their vacation, there are several shopping centers with grocery stores near the I-Drive tourist corridor and Walt Disney World that make it possible for visitors to purchase the ingredients necessary for a "home cooked" meal--or at least a less expense, hotel heated meal.

The Walmart Supercenter on Sand Lake Road and John Young Parkway just east of International Drive is open 24 hours a day and can get crowded even late at night, especially when the traffic picks up on I-Drive. Just west of International Drive on Sand Lake Road is the decidedly upscale Dr. Phillips area of town, with a large Publix supermarket anchoring the main shopping center located about a mile past the exit for I-4.

For visitors staying at a Walt Disney World resort, the Crossroads Shopping Center at State Road 535 (Apopka-Vineland Road) and Hotel Plaza Blvd. has a small Goodings grocery store tucked away in the midst of the popular chain restaurants. About a half mile north of Crossroads on 535 is a Winn Dixie grocery store, which also caters to tourists, and the nearest Publix is another half mile beyond the Winn Dixie.

The grocery stores catering to Orlando tourists tend to have more crowds, sunscreen, beach towels and Disney souvenirs than stores in other parts of town, but the prices and selection are far better than any "convenience shop" located on International Drive or within an actual resort.

Kouzzina by Cat Cora features time-honored Mediterranean recipes, as well as the chef’s personal favorites. The new table-service restaurant is included in the Disney Dining Plan and available to book online or by calling 407-WDW-DINE.

To complement the flavors and aromas wafting out of the open kitchen, Chef Cora has hand-selected a beverage menu, including her special cocktail recipes and private label wines from California.

Kids eat free deals save money on Orlando vacations

Being on vacation can be expensive enough, and “kids eat free” deals can help defray the expenses of families with kids ages 12 and under who choose to spend their vacation in Orlando.

Many of the Walt Disney World “Good Neighbor Hotels” already offer kids eat free deals in the main hotel restaurant, or complimentary continental breakfasts for the entire family, but for families that venture out into the world of casual dining restaurants in the vicinity of Orlando’s International Drive or SR 192 in Kissimmee, it pays to be aware of the kids eat free deals that are going on with some of the national chains.

Perkins restaurants—which has an Orlando location on Sand Lake Road just off of International Drive—are now offering one free kid's meal per paid adult entree all day long Mondays through Fridays; the deal is in effect for an indefinite time.

IHOP has a restaurant on S. Kirkman Road that is open 24 hours a day, and the national chain is currently offering free kids meals seven days a week (one kids meal per adult entree) but the offer is only valid between 4:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. and ends on September 13.

There are plenty of Web sites that list kids eat free deals, including MyKidsEatFree.com, CouponDivas.com, FrugalLiving.com, and MommySavers.com, kidseatfor.com, and kidsmealdeals.com, so traveling families can take advantage of the free Wi-Fi Internet access in their hotel, look up some great deals, and enjoy a casual dining experience that leaves a little extra money in their wallet.

PINKTOBER at Hard Rock Hotel to feature The Bangles

Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Orlando rocks out for a cure this fall, when the worldwide 'PINKTOBER' campaign is celebrated at Velvet Sessions, the hotel's monthly rock 'n' roll cocktail party and lobby concert. The Bangles, one of the most popular all-female bands in American history, will perform in the lobby on Thursday, September 24 to kick off the month-long initiative that raises awareness and money for breast cancer research.

"This event brings together great music for a great cause and now more than ever, people are looking for ways they can help make a difference," says Hard Rock Hotel General Manager Carlton Hudson. "We will even light the hotel's guitar fountain and the front drive in pink on the night of the Bangles event, as a visual reminder of Hard Rock's commitment to love all and serve all in the fight against breast cancer."

The Bangles will perform top hits "Walk Like an Egyptian," "Manic Monday," "Hazy Shade of Winter," "Eternal Flame" and more. The Velvet Sessions event is only the beginning. From late September through October, select rooms at Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Orlando will be outfitted with pink sheets, pink pillow cases and pink duvet covers. Each night the room is rented during the campaign, the hotel will donate 25% of room revenues to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Mitchell's Fish Market- Newer Destin Restaurant

Last night we had another great meal at Mitchell's Fish Market in Sandestin and I realized I have not mentioned this great seafood restaurant on our Destin blog. Mitchell's Fish Market is located on the east of end of Destin often referred to as Sandestin in the Grand Boulevard shopping center. The food and service are always top notch and the prices are pretty reasonable for fresh seafood. Mitchell's brings in fresh seafood from around the country and their Tuna may be the best in town. They also have a great bar and feature happy hour specials. The nearest hotel is the Sandestin Hilton. Be sure to visit http://www.doitindestin.com/Places_to_eat_in_Destin.html for more Destin Restaurants.

Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit Roller Coaster at Universal prepares for opening

Billboards are going up, local radio stations are giving away tickets, and there’s an excitement in the air around Orlando that can only mean one thing—there’s a new roller coaster coming to town. While the official grand opening date for the Universal Studios’ Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit Roller Coaster has not been announced yet, the increased promotions indicate that it will be coming very soon.

Rip Ride Rockit Roller Coaster will enable riders to create their own music video of their coaster experience; they will select a soundtrack for their ride that they will hear during the ride—advertised as the world’s most technologically advanced coaster on the Universal Web site—and have the opportunity to purchase a copy of their video afterwards. The car ascends at a 90 degree angle before racing at speeds of up to 65 mph. The ride includes never before seen maneuvers such as the Treble Clef and Jump Cut.

Universal Studios is currently testing the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, so opening day cannot be far behind.
